Chapter 531

To understand this, Yinsi and Yinzhen couldn't help but look at each other. The Fourteenth Old is speechless. Even the vassal states have to be embezzled and are also sensible. In this way, the Qing Dynasty will have vassal states in the future? What are the reactions of the existing vassal states?

After pondering for a while, the old Jiu Yinzhen asked tentatively: "Japan, North Korea, and Ryukyu are due to strategic needs. Are the countries in Southeast Asia also strategic needs?"

After hearing this, Yinsi couldn't help but look at Yinzhen suspiciously, and then looked at Yinzhen. Should the vassal states in the South China Sea also embezzle?

Yinzhen nodded slightly and said, "Britain has established a commercial stronghold in the Mughal Empire, and has frequent exchanges. Myanmar and the Mughal Empire are bounded by the Bay of Bengal, and Siam is bordered by the Andaman Sea, both outside the South China Sea and may also become a stronghold for Europeans to invade east. It is naturally more reassuring to be included in the Qing Dynasty. Moreover, the countries in the South China Sea are not as rich as the south China. Do you know how much rice in the South China Sea costs a stone of silver?"

Yinzhen was most concerned about business and immediately asked, "How much does it cost per stone?"

"I only purchased 500,000 shi from three to four cents per stone." Yinzhen said in a deep voice.

Three or four cents of silver and one stone of rice? Yinsi and Yinzhen couldn't believe their ears. Even in Jiangnan, rice was floating up and down at the price of one or two cents of silver and one stone. Nanyang actually only had three or four cents of silver and one stone? No wonder the fourteenth old man wanted to embezzle the Nanyang vassal states. What strategy needed was nothing more than a big granary. This alone made the Qing Dynasty salivate. This was simply a big granary!

"How much output do they have?" Yinzhen leaned forward slightly and asked quickly.

"Brother Jiu is moved?" Yinzhen smiled slightly and said, "Since I was not going to make this idea, I plan to send all the food for Australian immigrants from South China. In the future, the grain of grain may be supplied by the countries in South China, and merchants are not allowed to sell grain privately."

When Yinzhen heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Old Sisi held the navy in his hand. The entire Nanyang fleet is now under the control of the Nanyang fleet. He said that he could not sell food privately, and probably no maritime merchant dared to disobey. Even if he could transport some secretly, he would not make much money. It would be better to sell other goods.

Seeing Yinzhen's regret, Yinzhen couldn't help but smile and said, "Why should Brother Jiu care about that little profit? Overseas gold mines are the big ones. Are the craftsmen in charge of organizing the exploration and refining gold mines good luck?"

"This matter has been condemned to contact and hire famous gold and silver mining areas in various places." Yinzhen said calmly: "At the latest end of the year, you can gather in Tianjin."

Yinzhen nodded and said, "Okay. We gathered together to set off. The Galoba garrison was a little less. The militia still needed time to train. The end of the year was just right, which was also conducive to long-distance voyages at sea."

As the Minister of the Lifan Academy, Yinsi was naturally very concerned about the relationship between the vassal states. According to the Fourteenth Old Man, it took a few years to make this Lifan Academy. This Lifan Academy might become the most leisurely department in the Qing Dynasty. After a moment of pondering, he continued to ask: "Fourth brother. It is not a good reputation to embezzle the vassal states. Moreover, there were many vassal states in the Qing Dynasty. If one is not careful, it will even lead to attacking the vassal states. Will the Emperor Ama agree to this matter?"

"The embezzlement of the vassal states is naturally an excuse. How can you get out of Wuming?" Yinzhen said disapprovingly: "There is no need to worry about the fat meat on the mouth. It is a painful torment to endure the fat meat on your mouth."

When he heard that Kangxi was the same, Yinsi couldn't help but be speechless for a while. It seemed that it was only a matter of time before he thought about it. After thinking for a while, he said, "The ministers in the court would strongly oppose this matter."

"What's the use of their opposition?" Yinzhen said disdainfully: "In the naval expedition, they couldn't even hear a slight sound of wind, and they probably didn't even have a chance to oppose it."

"It is better to be able to convince them." Yinzhen said with a smile: "If you can't convince them, you can only fight. Confucian governance is the best choice, but in terms of expanding territory, it is a bit pedantic. He is gentle, far-reaching and kind, and can only stick to this point when he is unable to conquer and is within his reach. Isn't that a thing of the past and not transformed? If my Qing Dynasty is also so pedantic, wouldn't it still be in Liaodong at this time?"

"That's true. If the heavenly teachings do not use them, they will suffer the consequences. If the heavenly teachings do not take them, they will suffer the consequences." Yinzhen said excitedly: "If you force yourself to stop eating the fat meat on your mouth, you will not get sick if you are greedy?"

Yinzhen nodded, but looked at Yinsi and said in a deep voice: "From the situation of the morning court today, there are probably many princes and nobles who oppose the bannermen entering the workshop. They should be wary of their instigation of some wealthy bannermen to gather for trouble. The nine-gate admiral Orondai still needs to remind his brother, and he sent more soldiers to patrol the city. He found that the bannermen had signs of gathering for trouble, and he would repay them quickly. If they neglect their duties due to negligence, the brother must save him."

Yinsi said solemnly: "Fourth brother, don't worry, Orondai is not an ignorant person. I will go to the yamen of the infantry commander."

Yinzhen said to Yinzhen: "The work of the bannerman entering the workshop is a foregone conclusion. Brother Jiu must set off as soon as possible to rush to Tianjin. After the bannerman arrives in Tianjin, he must make the arrangements as appropriate. I will notify the "Four Great Hengs" that you go directly to Tianjin's semicolon to withdraw. The maximum limit of 500,000 taels is for yourself. Now you are waiting to use money everywhere. Brother Jiu must not spend extra money, this money must be used at the edge of the knife."

Yinzhen said in a deep voice: "Fourth brother, don't worry, the ninth brother is just making the iron abacus."

He stood up and sent Yinsi and Yinzhen away. Yinzhen turned around and ordered Bao Fuquan to say, "Come on someone to call Dachun and Luo Jing and come to my study."

"Zhe." Bao Fuquan hurriedly bowed and responded.

When Yinzhen walked slowly back to the study, Dachun and Luo Jing were waiting at the door. He did not be polite to the two of them, and went straight into the room to sit down, saying in a deep voice: "Luo Jing, order people to closely monitor the movements and quietness of the inner city, pay close attention to whether there are bannermen gathering in the inner city, and report quickly at any time if there is any situation, and report every hour if there is nothing."

"Slaves respect the order." Luo Jing hurriedly bowed to take the order and then retreated.

Yinzhen then picked up the pen and wrote the letter, used the seal, and then handed it to Dachun, saying, "Go to Shuntian Mansion and hand it over to Wang Yi, the prefect of Shuntian Mansion. He paid attention to the movements inside and outside the city, and posted notices all over the city."

Although Yinzhen kept saying that Kangxi wanted to moderately relax the control of the bannermen and allow the bannermen to work in the military workshop of the Ministry of Works. However, neither Kangxi's decree nor the oral order was heard. The banner owners, princes, nobles, civil and military ministers were naturally aware that Yinzhen was pulling the banner to make tiger skins.

Therefore, after the scattered dynasty, the news that the crown prince wanted to throw his bannermen into the Tianjin Military Workshop to work as craftsmen spread to ten, ten to hundreds, and quickly spread to the inner city. In less than an hour, it spread throughout the streets and alleys of the inner city, and the entire inner city also caused a sensation. (To be continued)
